I have the Pinder Mark II 3 violins, my own two mark II 3 violins, and  the 
400 3 violins loaded into my Motif XS.  I mix between the four of  these to 
get my tron sounds,

Hi Andy,
une
I'm with you on "Mad Man Moon".  May be my  favorite use of strings Banks 
did.  Song not mentioned a lot, but a top  5 Genesis tune IMO.
 
Regards,

I agree, however, I site 2 tracks where the "400" strings sound  superb..
 
Genesis: "Mad Man Moon",  and Strawbs "Tears and Pavan"
 
I rest my case!

I changed out the tapes on my 400 for the Mark II violins, brass, and  
flutes. Sounds so much better.

Yes the violins did sound "different" IMO to what we now know as the  Mk2 
violins.
There was also my personal favourites Mixed Brass B which was  "nasty"!

The MK II flutes and violins were re-equed for the M400.
 
Most are MK II sounds but there are special recordings for the 400  like 
cello and choir that were not in the MK II.
 
Someone has a complete list somewhere! Don't remember  who.

This has probably  been asked before, but can anyone tell me whether when 
the M400 came  onto the market, there were new recordings made, or did they 
use the  original MK2 sounds? (Or a mix maybe).
